Derry, Caroline, Legal Temporalities of Sexual Consent. 272 pp. 2025:1 (Edinburgh U. Pr., UK) <753-779>

This book offers new perspectives on two key themes: the criminal law of sexual consent and the temporalities of law. It uses detailed feminist analysis to investigate how the kinds of time produced by statutes and court decisions are vital to constructing the gendered, liberal, legal subject. By shedding light upon a contested and multi-faceted legal issue, it demonstrates that more expansive temporalities are the precondition for a richer, relational understanding of consent. This book's fresh approach to sexual consent is developed using the law of England and Wales but is relevant to all jurisdictions where consent is an element of sexual offences law. Its distinctive approach to legal temporalities has the potential to be applied to other areas of law, providing insight into both current law and possibilities for reform.

This book presents an extensive study of women's involvement in agricultural activities at the family level in rural Bangladesh, with a particular emphasis on their participation in decision-making. The authors examine the extent to which women are involved in decision-making regarding agricultural practices at family level. In addition to examining women's contributions to various agricultural tasks, the research expands its scope to include discussions on gender inequality and empowerment, integrating these concepts into the decision-making framework. The authors argue that true participation should not only address the involvement of women in agriculture but also consider their influence on decision-making processes. They stress the importance of factors such as autonomy, control over resources, and self-confidence, which play a crucial role in shaping women's decision-making ability within the family. Moreover, the research identifies several key barriers to participation, including entrenched patriarchal norms, societal cultural expectations, and institutional challenges, which hinder women's active involvement in decision-making. The authors advocate for policy reforms and institutional changes to address these challenges, urging government bodies to align policies with their recommendations. The book provides valuable insights for policymakers, government officials, and NGOs working to promote gender-based approach and improve women's empowerment in rural communities.

Intersectional Intimacy: Identity Work of Racialized Women in Online Dating Cultures is the first book to examine both shared and divergent stories from those who identify as women with race-related experiences navigating online dating cultures, and to explore how their experience of intimate relationships is mediated by the apps.While many women turn to dating apps in search of intimacies, their navigations are continuously mediated and challenged by hierarchies of race, gender, class, and sexuality embedded in online dating cultures. This book traces the ongoing and layered processes through which racialized women develop their stories of online intimacies by making use of their identities and further cultivate their subjectivities. It also addresses the global dimensions of these practices, illustrating how global and local power structures intersect with personal experience, afforded by the popularity of dating apps, and how these readings change with their mobility.Intersectional Intimacy will be an essential text for students of Gender Studies, Sociology, and Politics, as well as those interested in Race, Media Studies, Digital Culture, and Communications.

This book documents the lived experiences of women and nonbinary people who came out as queer in middle age, often after long heterosexual marriages. Using a survey and in-depth interviews, it documents the experiences of way-later-in-life sapphics as they come out, navigate dating apps, and join LGBTQIA+ communities on social media. The author complements this analysis by exploring their own experience coming out as queer and nonbinary in my 50s after a 22-year relationship with their ex-husband. They explore the role digital media-social media, online communities, and dating apps-played in supporting and complicating the process of self-discovery and coming out. This volume stands as a subversive statement-"We're here, we're queer, get used to it"-against the threats on LGBTQIA+ rights in the United States.

ISBN 978-1-041-14636-0 hard ¥15,329.- (税込) GB￡ 52.99

The Archaeological Challenge of Gender asks, what do we know about the relations between men and women in past societies, and on what basis is this knowledge built? Although sources of data are meagre and often indirect, this book plays particular attention to exploring gender relations in a way that acknowledges its complexity. Contributors show how difficult questions on gender relationships in past societies are, avoiding preconceived ideas and naive reasoning. The book starts with a grounding introduction that takes readers through questions such as: what is gender archaeology? What are its objectives and methods, but also its shortcomings and dead ends? How can social anthropology contribute to our knowledge of the gender relations of disappeared societies? In what way have these real or, more often, supposed gender relations been put at the service of a discourse on the present society? Chapters then tackle specific themes using case studies from around the globe that highlight common issues, controversy and methodological problems. Taking a critical approach and addressing the way knowledge is constructed in this field, this book is for students and researchers in Archaeology, Anthropology and Gender Studies.

A wholly new perspective on the importance of gardens and agriculture on the Chacoan world, establishing the female dominated gardeners as the basis of Chacoan culture. Author David E. Stuart digs beyond the standard archaeological examination of structures, tools, and rituals of the age to provide a more rounded view of this remarkable culture. An original look at the gardens and gardeners of the Chacoan World, internationally acclaimed ethno-anthropologist David E. Stuart's Ancient Women Gardeners: Prelude to the Chacoan World explores the ecological, demographic, and human dynamics that led to Chaco's rise and fall from its early beginnings in the 500s AD to its decline during the 1100s AD. The Chacoan system represents North America's earliest form of an emergent urban ecology. From its outset, Chacoan farm nodes consisted of widely scattered clusters of gardens connected by roads, way stations, and district granaries. Chaco's women gardeners fueled powerful growth that was eventually aborted as unforeseen dynamics barred the path to long-term sustainability. Stuart considers the intersection of population growth, agricultural yields, crop and soil possibilities, the caloric cost of labor, the corrosive role of pellagra, iron-deficiency anemia, the power of dietary protein in population dynamics, and the limitations imposed by early growth in the San Juan Basin-a land of poor soils, unpredictable rainfall, and rapidly declining wild vegetal foods and game. Focusing on the Chacoan landscape, farming techniques, and a world in which clusters of individual gardening families played a key role in creating an incipient urbanism in the Southwest, Stuart argues that without these accomplished gardening families and their agricultural innovations, there never would have been a "Chaco Phenomenon."

ISBN 978-1-032-60929-4 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Forced Migration, Masculinities, and Vulnerabilities in the Mediterranean explores the role of intersectional power hierarchies and the social reproduction of vulnerability in shaping forced migrant men's embodied realities of suffering along the Central Mediterranean migration route (CMR), which connects Sub-Saharan Africa to Sicily via Libya. Based on life history interviews and observational research collected from Sub-Saharan international protection-holders and seekers in Sicily, the book expands our understanding of the violence-migration nexus by exploring refugee men's gendered mobilities. Participants' narratives of gendered embodiment within the trans-Mediterranean illegality industry are used to shed light on the violence continuum produced by their marginalised position within locally salient hierarchies of masculinities across different migration stages. Following the ethnographic encounter between the researcher and participants in the racialised landscape of the Mediterranean migration 'crisis', the performance of competent manhood emerges as a crucial narrative site where forced migrant men can contest their protracted experiences of marginalisation and reclaim subjectivity. Overall, the book views the relationships between forced migration, masculinities, and vulnerabilities as a locus which reveals participants' neglected social welfare needs and demands in postcolonial Europe.Forced Migration, Masculinities, and Vulnerabilities in the Mediterranean appeals to those with research interests in migration, gender, sexuality, postcoloniality, race, ethnicity, European studies and humanitarianism.

Experience tells us, and studies confirm, that women faculty of color are among the most overworked, unfairly criticized, and least rewarded individuals serving higher education today. They are also the most thwarted when it comes to the basic goals of an academic career: tenure, security, and personal satisfaction. This, despite ranking as some of the most talented teachers we have: Women faculty of color disproportionately overdeliver on higher education's loftiest promise - preparing students to contribute to the world. In this book, these highly effective, overworked, underappreciated women will find expert guidance, encouragement, and practical steps to meet the outsized challenges women of color face in academia, and finally get what they 39 ve long since earned. In Empowered, Chavella T. Pittman distills decades of practice to show women faculty of color how to be unapologetically authentic in their teaching, speak up in reviews about their classroom excellence, and to offer themselves compassion. And, to recover a sense of joy in what they do. Drawing on extensive research, Pittman provides active measures for withstanding intersectional race and gender tensions, exercises to inoculate against toxic dynamics, and tools to resist being silenced and support being heard. Through these empowering strategies and exercises, women faculty of color can become the most powerful versions of themselves in their classrooms, and go on to make the most of their careers, contributions, and lives.

Multiraciality is not an identity to be fractured or abstracted by others, but rather integrated across multiple racial locations. Multiraciality is sophisticated and its weaving of complexity into forging new congruence posits new ways to understand identity. Multiraciality disrupts monoracial constructs and can be disorienting to others who are unable to have sufficient knowledge of self to be able to conceptualize that other persons occupy multiple racial locations across broader systems of culture and identity domains.

Recruiting more teachers of color, especially Black men, is a challenge. Recruitment alone is not sufficient to increase the presence of Black males in American classrooms, which is currently less than two percent. Black Male Educators in American Classrooms explores the unique challenges and valuable perspectives Black males bring to the school setting and explores how to better understand, incentivize, and effectively utilize Black males in America's classrooms and the widespread impact this can have in K-12 education, in the community, and throughout society. Documenting the results of a multi-year study carried out by the Editors, chapters delve into the mental, emotional, and intellectual development of Black male educators and those they connect with throughout the school community, why they leave or remain in K-12 education, and what they see as the role of school leaders in helping them achieve their purpose as contributing, respected, and valued educational leaders. The personal narratives of Black male educators include their recommendations to improve strategies to support them in classrooms and throughout society. Readers will experience first-hand how being a black male educator impacted their lives, their students and their communities. Not only are stereotypes dissolved through the research and personal narratives of Black male educators, but the proposed initiatives also suggest and offer strategies for continuing growth of Black male educators within the classroom, as academic leaders, role models, and other levels of engagement.

Recovering the rarely heard voices of immigrant soldiers, Indigenous women, and Mexican women alongside officers' narratives, this book richly portrays the US Army at war in Florida and Mexico. Its unique focus on interactions between the army and local women uncovers army culture's gendered foundations. Countering an almost exclusively officer-focused historiography, it amasses enlisted men's accounts to describe what life was like for ordinary soldiers, show how enlisted men participated in and shaped army culture, and demonstrate how officers wrote their reports to achieve specific ends. By piecing together scattered mentions of women from personal writings, military and civilian newspapers, court-martial proceedings, and official records, it also shows the wide spectrum of Indigenous and Mexican women's wartime activities. Army authors erased or reframed evidence of women's combatancy to bolster their status as women's protectors, but undoing this process reveals that even in the most understudied conflicts, evidence exists to tell women's stories.

Stanley, Sharon, Rethinking Abortion Rights After Dobbs: Privacy, Equality, and Reproductive Freedom. 157 pp. 2025:7 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <753-1888>
ISBN 978-3-031-91917-6 hard ¥9,896.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book offers a novel account of the normative foundations of abortion rights informed by political theory and feminist theory. Stanley revisits the debate between privacy and equality as rationales for abortion rights that erupted after Roe v. Wade. First, Stanley argues that we can reconceptualize privacy along feminist lines, contra its feminist critics. Second, this reconceptualization allows us to see privacy and equality as essential allies and supplements to each other. When operating in tandem, privacy and equality provide a powerful theoretical and practical foundation not only for abortion rights but also for an expansive vision of reproductive justice informed by an intersectional understanding of the reproductive burdens endured by those multiply marginalized by gender, race, and class. This reproductive justice framework is the most promising basis for a powerful post-Dobbs political coalition seeking to restore and greatly expand the promise of reproductive freedom symbolically represented by Roe.

Kutuk-Kuris, Merve, Refashioning Muslims: Women Between the New Conservatism and Neoliberalism in Istanbul. (Critiquing Gender & Islam: Transnational, Intersectional and Queer Perspectives) 360 pp. 2025:3 (Edinburgh U. Pr., UK) <753-1396>
ISBN 978-1-3995-2642-5 hard ¥26,037.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

Refashioning Muslims explores the self-presentations and daily performances of young, bourgeois, fashion-conscious Muslim female entrepreneurs who emerged as new social actors in fields of fashion, leisure, charity and the family during the 2010s. It examines how these "Muslim fashionistas" significantly bolster governmental capacity to build public consent by projecting images of successful entrepreneurs, benevolent philanthropists and ideal mothers. However, their performances entail moments of imperfection and moral dilemma as they navigate market demands and everyday aspirations often conflicting with Islamic orthodoxy and traditional gender order. The book analyses how Muslim fashionistas cooperate with and challenge religious, classed, and gendered ideals, shaping a neoliberal Muslim subjectivity in the new Turkey. Drawing on Ricoeur's notion of 'narrative identity' and Bourdieu's notion of 'regulated liberties', the book argues that women's subjectivities are guided by the dynamic unity of the narrative configuration of the self, and formed through a complex interplay between autonomy and (self-)regulation.

Novoa, Adriana, From Virile to Sterile: Science, Masculinity, and Modernity in Argentina, 1776-1852. (Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century) 456 pp. 2025:12 (U. Pittsburgh Pr., US) <753-109>

As rigorous scientific and philosophical discourse circulated during the Enlightenment, aided by the Republic of Letters, a revolutionary understanding of gender emerged that would impact nation building in Europe and the Americas. In From Virile to Sterile, Adriana Novoa analyzes the cosmopolitan citizens of this metaphysical republic-an international community of scholars and literary figures-and the first universal modern male identity it established. By the end of the eighteenth century, she reveals, man's role in society had fundamentally changed. This "man of letters" possessed a masculinity that was learned and shared-different from the warrior model of the past. The modern man represented a new notion of patriotism linked to knowledge and institutions that promoted intellectual dynamism, change, and self-transformation. For a conservativism that despised radical liberalism and its science, this new masculinity was degenerate and villainous, a sign of extinction and sterility. The virile man was stable and unchanging, his authority rooted in continuity and stability. Novoa explores this complex gendering of science, modernity, and civilization in Argentina during the nineteenth century, and how a universal characterization of masculinity shaped the politics of the River Plate Viceroyalty and later the creation of the Argentine Republic.

West, Helen Karen, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Policies in Majority-Catholic Countries: How LGBTQIA+ NGOs use the International System to Influence Domestic Policymaking. 243 pp. 2025:7 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <753-1108>
ISBN 978-3-031-94739-1 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This research contributes to scholarship on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/ Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) rights at the international level and how LGBTQIA+ non-governmental organisations (NGOs) use international channels to advance the cause domestically, with a focus on countries that have a strong presence and influence of the Catholic Church. Case studies include Ireland, Italy and Peru. Based on over fifty interviews, author Helen Karen West identifies how specialised LGBTQIA+ INGOs facilitate access to international channels for local NGOs and argues that by accessing transnational networks and utilising international NGOs to access United Nations' (UN) channels, local NGOs have a better chance of influencing domestic policy change in majority Catholic countries. She argues that it is necessary to consider an additional actor to predict outcomes more efficiently: the opposition, in this case, the Catholic Church and affiliated organisations, and its transnational network. West offers helpful insight into influencing domestic policies in countries with strong opposition to allow LGBTQIA+ organisations a better chance to succeed in their work and further the academic dialogue.

ISBN 978-1-3995-4321-7 hard ¥26,037.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

This volume advances a vision of what Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) might look like if critical feminist theories moved to the centre of our analyses. Critical feminist literatures hold promise for enriching our understanding of everyday dynamics of conflict and potential pathways for building peace with justice. The book charts a course from the critique of the patriarchal, colonial, and liberal power structures that exacerbate violence, to presenting a vision of feminist alternatives to the status quo, and finally, to a discussion of the application of feminist insights for research, pedagogy, and praxis. Empirical and theoretical contributions explore topics including religious women's activism, colonial power dynamics within elementary schools, critical views on women's empowerment, grassroots pro-migrant movements, embodied and affective practices of peace, Indigenous and migrant views on citizenship and solidarity, critical feminist research ethics, and intersectional, queer and posthumanist peace pedagogies.

Besong, Brian, Sex in Theory. 225 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <753-125>
ISBN 978-3-031-93242-7 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This volume explores the major moral theories and their distinctive approaches and controversial implications regarding sex. Despite being a commonplace human activity, contemporary discussions of the norms regarding sex-particularly those that connect with the major moral theories-are relatively rare. This volume shows that the relative silence is important, for all the major moral theories appear to have controversial implications about the morality and value of sex. Consequently, either widespread Western assumptions about sex are mistaken or else the major moral theories have serious problems when it comes to the ethics of the bedroom. Adopting a metaethical Mooreanism about our sexual intuitions offers a potential compromise, such that some of the more novel and controversial Western intuitions are abandoned with resulting room for at least one moral theory to remain viable.
